Bill Withers - Better Off Dead

She couldn't stand me anymore so she just took the kids and went
You see, I've got a drinkin' problem, all the money that we had I spent
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone
Hey, hey, she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone
Ah, she gave the most, took the least, she even had the priest come to our home
And I cried and prayed and promised that I'd leave the stuff alone
Now I must leave what I can't face, I hope she finds the kids a happy home
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone
She used to call her friend and cry, then the man cut off the telephone
She'd sit and cry while I went out and pawned the things we owned
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead
She couldn't stand me anymore so she just took the kids and went
You see, I've got a drinkin' problem, all the money that we had I spent
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone
Hey, hey, she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone
Ah, she gave the most, took the least, she even had the priest come to our home
And I cried and prayed and promised that I'd leave the stuff alone
Now I must leave what I can't face, I hope she finds the kids a happy home
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone
She used to call her friend and cry, then the man cut off the telephone
She'd sit and cry while I went out and pawned the things we owned
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead
